Richard Kruspe spoke with Bonedo.de about the launch of his new ESP LTD RZK-III guitar and took the opportunity to talk a little about the -nonexistent- future plans of Rammstein and Emigrate.
“There are always ideas, but fortunately, I'm in a situation where I'm not exposed to any pressure, either external or internal. I also feel like creative timing changes a bit as I get older. I don't have the motivation to record an album simply because it's the right time. Right now, there aren't any brilliant ideas worth developing,” she said of Emigrate.
He also said that for now he's not even sure if he wants to continue making music: "I often wonder if making music is really something I want to continue doing or something that will have a lasting impact on my life in the future, although I haven't found a definitive answer yet."
Regarding Rammstein, he commented: “There are no concrete plans. I always explain it like this: Rammstein is a house that was built a long time ago. There are six apartments in the building, and some have already moved out. Maybe they'll come back, maybe they won't, but the house will always be there. However, we've been working on a live DVD for two years, which we recorded in Mexico. It'll be out soon, and we're currently mixing it. Everything else is in the distant future, and I'm also glad I don't know what will happen. It's an open story, and that creates a very pleasant feeling.”
Rammstein's most recent album, ‘Zeit‘ was released in 2022.
